Seán Sherlock: ...the definition of "relevant thing" in section 2, the definition section. At present "relevant thing" can mean a relevant structure, feature, site, and so on: "whether situated on, in or under land".

Seán Sherlock: ...targets. 11 o’clock The forestry dashboard clearly shows that the number of licences issued this week was 78, and 40 of those were issued to Coillte. I do not have a sense as to what the landmass involved is, but the number is still too low.

Am I correct in making that assumption in terms...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2023)

Seán Sherlock: ...of fund managers and on that basis, let me state that we vehemently oppose this arrangement. The taxpayer will not benefit by one penny from this entity and the language used to describe how much land will be acquired has varied from anywhere between 3,000 ha, such as we have heard here tonight, to 100,000 ha when Mr. Carlin started talking about this two weeks ago.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I will put it a different way. If I go back to that €6,744, if one has lands that are at scale with a partner that is funding into this new so-called "Coillte nua" entity, Mr. Carlin is telling me that the smaller forestry companies, foresters and contractors are more agile and leaner.

However, my fear is that we will end up with large swathes of our own land owned by corporate entities, which are offshored, which are international and which are competing with Irish people. These are unnamed corporates and international investment funds. All of...
